Multiple Pathways to the Same End Goal

Some statistics for you:

According to a new report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, 46% of all students who earned a bachelor’s degree had attended a community college at some point in the previous 10 years.

Furthermore, studies show that 62% of students who transfer from two-year to four-year institutions go on to earn bachelor’s degrees within six years of transferring. The rate is even higher for students who complete a credential at the two-year college before transferring — at 72 percent.

The takeaway message?   There is no “right” or “standard” pathway to earn a bachelor’s degree. For many adults, their degree will be comprised of credits earned at multiple institutions over an extended period of time.

Find out how Ramapo can help you make the most of your previous credits at our Adult Undergraduate Information Session on Tuesday, April 28th at 6:30 p.m. There, you can speak with admissions staff and adult advisers to learn more about your best path to completion.
